LONDON (The Thursday Times) — India 27 crore 30 lakh dollar ke sarmayakari muahide ke us daawe ko rokne ki koshish mein nakam ho gaya hai, jo Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA) ne kiya tha, kyunke England aur Wales ki Court of Appeal ne faisla diya hai ke arbitration tribunal ka yeh kehna ghalat tha ke use yeh muqadma sunne ka ikhtiyar nahin.
Lord Justices Males, Phillips aur Miles ne pichhle hafte India ki woh apeel khaarij kar di jo June 2025 mein High Court ke Mr Justice Robin Knowles ke faisle ke khilaf thi, jinhon ne tribunal ka faisla palat diya tha. Ab yeh daawa dobara tribunal ke paas jayega, jo faisla karega ke kya India ne India-UAE dutarfa sarmayakari muahide ki khilaf warzi ki hai aur kya emirate ke sarmayakari bazu ko muawza dena India ke zimme hai.
Andhra Pradesh mein aluminium ka aik mansooba
Yeh tanaza 2007 mein Andhra Pradesh aur Ras Al Khaimah ki hukumaton ke darmiyan hone wale aik memorandum of understanding se shuru hota hai, jis ke teht Bharti sooba mein alumina refinery, aluminium smelter aur power plant tameer kiya jana tha. RAKIA ne ANRAK Aluminium mein, jo is mansoobe ke liye qayam ki gayi company thi, taqreeban 4 crore 25 lakh dollar ki sarmayakari ki, agarchi baad mein us ka hissa ghat kar taqreeban 12% reh gaya.
Yeh mansooba sarkari milkiyat wali Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation (APMDC) se milne wale bauxite par munhasir tha. Awami ehtijaj ke baad Andhra Pradesh hukumat ne 2015 mein woh ahkam wapas le liye jo supply ke intizam ki ijazat dete thay, aur APMDC ne baad mein supply muahida khatm kar diya.
RAKIA ne December 2016 mein arbitration shuru ki aur India par ilzam lagaya ke us ne is ki sarmayakari ko munsifana aur barabari par mabni salook dene mein nakami dikhayi aur ghair qanooni taur par milkiyat ko qabze mein le liya. May 2022 mein Lord Hoffmann, Justice Chandramauli aur J William Rowley QC par mushtamil tribunal ne ikhtiyar-e-samaat se inkar kar diya, aur yeh qarar diya ke in iqdamat ka mustaqeem taur par asar ANRAK aur APMDC par para, lekin RAKIA ki shareholding par un ka asar sirf ghair mustaqeem taur par tha.
Adalat ne kya faisla kiya
India ne dalil di ke RAKIA ki mehfooz sarmayakari sirf ANRAK mein us ke shares thay, is liye project ya us ki bauxite ki farahmi ko nishana banane wale iqdamat ko is sarmayakari par barah-e-raast lagu kiye gaye iqdamat nahin qarar diya ja sakta.
Court of Appeal ne ittefaq nahin kiya. Adalat ki taraf se tehreer karte hue Lord Justice Phillips ne kaha ke kisi sarmayakari ko us ke maeeshati pas-e-manzar mein parha jana chahiye, aur ke sarmaye ke badle mein diye gaye aqliyati shares ko "sirf company mein dilchaspi nahin samjha jata". Unhon ne kaha ke yeh tashreeh "Investments ko di gayi hifazaton ko maani deti hai aur un ki wazahat karti hai", aur ke India ki tashreeh in hifazaton ko kamzor kar degi.
"Is liye main Judge se ittefaq karta hoon ke maujooda muamle mein GoAP ke iqdamat barah-e-raast RAKIA ki Investment par lagu hue," Phillips ne Andhra Pradesh ki hukumat ka hawala dete hue likha.
India ki numaindagi Sam Wordsworth KC, Siddharth Dhar KC aur Peter Webster ne ki, jinhein Dentons ne hidayat di thi. RAKIA ki numaindagi Tim Otty KC, Ben Juratowitch KC aur Benedict Tompkins ne ki, jinhein Freshfields ne hidayat di thi.
